picked up a genius
Alvin turned to Ryker. Ryker's face had gone white, and he seemed to be in a lot of pain. He grabbed his hand, checking his pulse. “Damn, tracking worm. Someone placed a tracking worm on you. Who wants to keep tabs on your movement?” He looked up at Ryker. Ryker kept silent, his chest heaving up and down. Alvin wrote a spell on the air and guided it to Ryker's back, then Alvin tore off his (Ryker's) jacket, exposing his left collarbone. Carefully, he pricked the spot. Ryker winced in pain as Alvin dragged the tracking worm out. He showed the black worm to Ryker who made a disgusted face, unable to believe that such a thing could be found in a human’s body. Alvin lightly moved his little finger like one writing, and fire consumed the worm dangling from the tip of the needle. “Let's go up. I need to thoroughly examine you. Otherwise…” His eyes met Ryker's at this point and his words trailed off. Ryker's gaze was hostile, suspicious. He hated the two people who cornered him
suspicious ambush
Alvin’s heart skipped multiple beats, he knelt beside Ryker, cold sweat matting his skin “What the fuck is happening to you?” Ryker slapped his hand away, hot beads of sweat rolling down his body. This pain was different from the one he felt with the pill. This feels… more devastating. He glared at Alvin, his gaze accusatory, and filled with hatred. He couldn't help but blame himself for trusting a total stranger. If he ever pulled past this, he would never dare take such a crazy gamble ever again. Alvin grabbed his hand, trying to take his pulse, his brows furrowed. A swift kick from Ryker caught him straight on his chest, shooting him backwards. The world turned blurry before Ryker's eyes and he bit down on his tongue, forcing himself to his feet. Then he began to run. He didn't know where he was going, which direction led down, or if he was simply circling around. All that mattered was to leave, get as far as possible from the liar he nearly gave his life to. His th
poisoned by the general?
Alvin stared at Ryker from head to toe, then back again. “Remove your hoodie. I assume you've agreed, right?” Ryker nodded. After these few minutes with Alvin, he no longer seemed cold and untouchable. The mysterious general was quite human, and sentimental. “Woah!” Alvin suddenly exclaimed, grabbing Ryker's shoulders wide eyed. His eyes went down to his belly. Ryker shuddered, creeped out. “Man, this is crazy.” Alvin exclaimed, turning him this way and that way like one inspecting a limited edition game pad. He pushed Alvin away, wondering if he had tumbled into the hands of a crazy perverted creep. Alvin whistled. “You developed internal energy on your own, without anyone offering you guidance. You didn't die from qi deviation, or get injured, you actually opened up an energy core and guided it in. Genius. I picked up a gem.” Alvin was awed. The other day he investigated Ryker; there was no trace of internal energy. Just an unnatural physical resilience and determinat
Surreal
Five minutes late, could something have happened to him? Alvin sighed for the umpteenth time, pacing the top of the hill he had chosen as a meeting point. It was just above a park, secluded, perfect for testing people. However, the guest still hasn't shown up. Ryker didn't appear as someone with the habit of being tardy, could something have gone wrong? Alvin hissed, and adjusted his mask. Pacing only made him more frustrated, so he found a boulder, and sat cross legged, taking advantage of the night air to gather life energy from the surrounding trees. He didn't know how long it was, but he felt a familiar aura among the throng of people loitering in the park. He opened his eyes, and slowly exhaled to search for him. There in the park was the source of the familiar aura. Rex Dominius, on his bike. Alvin hissed in disappointment. Then came the indecision. Should he go over to say hello or not? After all, they could pass for friends. But then, he was in a disguise, on a

The moment the car pulled out, everyone seemed to have exhaled a breath they didn't know they were holding. “Boss, what do they want with you?” Ryker didn't look at the speaker, his mind faraway. “Don't know.” He then turned to his boys. “From now on, don't let your family come here to bring lunch or dinner. This place seems like it would get dangerous real soon, better to keep others away from shit. They don't look like the type to take no, and I don't understand their intentions yet.” One of the apprentices kept staring at Ryker, he was younger than the rest. “Boss, be honest, did you piss off anyone recently? First was the masked man then this. Weird people keep appearing.” Ryker gave him a side eye and kept silent. One of the older apprentices nudged Ken. “Hey, have you realized that our boss seems different ever since that mystery man came days ago?” Ryker's ears perked up, and he turned slightly towards them. “Different? How?” The apprentice shook his head. “I don't
More trouble than it's worth
The notion was terrifying for Ryker, not because he feared danger, but because he didn't want his family to be affected. Thankfully, he had asked Xinara and the rest of his family to stop coming to him. If he needed to see them, he would find covert ways to do it. From the moment he made up his mind to go with the general, his thoughts had been on how to keep his family safe amidst the danger that was sure to follow his new choice. Who would have expected that his new choice would come in handy and not even for the purpose he originally intended? This predator before him seemed exactly like the type with no bottomline. He must absolutely never let them find out his weak spots. “What's internal energy?” Ryker blurted out the opposite of what he thought. Before the grand master could answer, he raised a hand to stop him. “It doesn't matter anyway. I'm so sorry I wasted your time and fuel, but I'm really not interested in your offer. Never will be. If I was the type looking
